MOM of the month 80th Anniversary

Continues while quantities last

Tanis Brown

January’s Mom of the Month,
Tanis Brown of Long Sault,
has been involved in a variety
of sports in a variety of roles.
She and her husband, Barry,
are busy keeping their three
children, Avery (14), Kyle
(12), and Camden (2) active
and engaged in athletics.
Tanis is a fundraiser
and is often part of team
management. She has
organized and participated in Casino Nights, bottle drives, raffles, and pumpkin sales, to

name a few activities. “Whatever needs to be done, I’ll do,” she says.
She has done a lot of work in South Stormont, where both Avery and Kyle got their
starts in hockey, and where her husband has coached both older kids. Tanis has since
supported Avery as a player for the Cornwall Typhoons when her daughter moved to that
team, and has been on the bench as a trainer.
Kyle has become heavily involved in baseball, and frequently trains in Quebec, so Tanis
is often on the road. Her own background in sports includes softball and swimming;
including earning her (water) wings as a lifeguard.
As for young Camden, at 2 years of age, she’s already been on skates in the Long Sault
Arena, and if her father has his way, she’ll be a hockey player like her big sister. “But
she’s quite the little dancer,” explains Tanis. “So, we’ll see what happens.”
